@Tonepoet blame Zelretch. like Kaleido Ruby was his doing. i suspect all Magical Girls in the Nasuverse like Magical Amber and Phantasmoon are his doing aswell and the Second Magic is "Operation of Parallel Worlds" so he might be able to show up in Touhou?

- Fluffy tails - An adorable main character that's too pure for this world - So much yuri - Fluffy tails - Japanese folklore and mythology - Surprisingly deep allegories about life - Did I mention it has fluffy tails?

So I heard this song in Attack on Titan towards the end of season 2 episode 12 and I when I compared it to the soundtrack, I found out it was called "Attack on D".
However, the song in the actual episode (episode 12) has a piano part in it and the 'la la la' part only comes in towards the end of...

ah gamer doesn't have great animation. it's average. story wise it's funny at first but they keep repeat the same joke it's boring and forgettable. Also it has almost nothing to do with game really. They discus game, surely, but it only serve as plot.

I'd say girlish number is better than gamer! overall but both are pretty meh :/

On the surface, red Saber (from Fate/Extra) and blue Saber (from Fate/Stay Night) look almost identical.
Was it ever explained why they look so similar?
What noticeable differences do the two have, aside from their abilities and attire?

> There are various opinions about the body weight or figure of Artoria Alter when she is a Lancer. According to differing opinions, when manifesting as a Lancer, the King of Knights is said to take on a figure that differs "in portion" to what she was while alive. Whatever that is, whether because the eternally youthful body has grown "in portion" due to possessing the holy lance instead of the holy sword and scabbard, or because the magical power of the lancer made "a portion" of the body grow

I'm guessing this version of Saber isn't especially concerned with hiding her femininity, which has some major implications for the main timeline: Most particularly it suggests that it was unnecessary for her to even try in the first place.

Even the non-alter form seems to have an enhanced chest looking at pictures of it, but I'm more distracted by another difference, which is namely her armor:

Particularly, I can't help but notice that her thighs are exposed, unlike the original design. I'm not sure why. The original armor was split down the middle, so it's not like it would really interfere with riding the horse and it seems to me as if you could amputate her legs quite easily.

Granted, this armor has better torso coverage, but I'm not so sure that'd be as important on horseback, 'cause the horse's head blocks frontal attacks.

maybe so we know that her chest is actually grown somehow and her personality change or whatever. But even if it was part in the middle it's hard to imagine anyone wearing a long skirt while riding a horse to battle

@EarlGrey Eeh, usually realistic armor should nevertheless be quite flat, because armor mostly works by dispersing the force of the blow evenly. I don't think the armor changes can be justified by anything other than eroticizing her appearance. That's somewhat of a shame because Saber's original design was somewhat respectable in that it was relatively chaste for lack of a better word, but then again we already have that design I suppose, so I guess why not.

like a nameless newborn baby. or someone who haven't lived in a society, someone living in the woods who have never met any other human being has no reason to give himself a name, and no one has given him a name, and let's say his mother didn't know she was pregnant with him so she haven't even t...

@Tonepoet well yeah obviously but we're not talking about realistic armor. Even the original one doesn't use realistic armor. She left her upper arm and shoulder exposed. If any anime character use realistic armor we won't be able to identified them as female until she take off her armor (or helmet). So these girls, for whatever reason can not wear a flat armor

Excalibur locked Arturia's body at the age she was when she pulled it from the stone. from my understanding she took up the spear which didn't do that so she aged normally

people didn't complain about her being a woman because the spear is actually a pillar that separates the normal world from, i think it's called the boundary plane, it's the world where Avalon is which is populated by spirits and humans can not exist there as such Arturia was worshiped not as a king but as a Goddess and became divine

@EarlGrey in other words Mordred?

@EarlGrey yes i do!!!!!

@Tonepoet yeh, she's like a Prinny. when you start thinking about her you can't think of anything else for a while

I read this manga a while ago, in my school library. It was a romance/horror manga and at the back of each volume there would be an appendix in which the writer (who was female) would detail how she got ideas, with herself drawn as a chibi character.
It was not particularly popular, but I remem...

Obi (帯, おび) is a sash for traditional Japanese dress, keikogi (uniforms for Japanese martial arts), and part of kimono outfits.
The obi for men's kimono is rather narrow, 10 centimetres (3.9 in) wide at most, but a woman's formal obi can be 30 centimetres (12 in) wide and more than 4 metres (13 ft) long. Nowadays, a woman's wide and decorative obi does not keep the kimono closed; this is done by different undersashes and ribbons worn underneath the obi. The obi itself often requires the use of stiffeners and ribbons for definition of shape and decoration.
There are many types of obi, most for women...

@Memor-X I was reading about the spear on the Wiki., and there's a major plothole in what you just suggested. Only Merlin and Arturia actually knew what the spear was. Not even the other knights of the round knew that. They couldn't have possibly known to worship her as anything because she possesses an absolutely ordinary weapon:

> Bedivere states that none of the Knights of the Round Table ever questioned the spear's nature, and so never learned of its significance or power, meaning that only King Arthur and Merlin among them were ever aware of what it is.

> Due to the properties concealed in the holy spear, she has changed or mutated into an existence closer to a Divine Spirit; a goddess if anything. Her bodily age actually grows without intervention of Excalibur. However, merely using it for ten years hasn't changed her mentality and spiritual construction too much
